Documents newly unsealed Thursday in a case involving a Russian entrepreneur and anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele reveal that a tech company owned by the Russian was used to hack Democratic Party leaders.
Aleksej
Gubarev, a businessman who runs companies across the world, claims his
organizations Webzilla and XBT Holdings were defamed by Steele after the
unverified dossier was published by BuzzFeed on Jan. 10, 2017.
The
dossier alleged that Gubarev's companies “used botnets and porn traffic
to transmit viruses, plant bugs, steal data and conduct 'alerting
operations' against the Democratic Party leadership.” The dossier also
suggested that Gubarev played a “significant” part in the operation
while “under duress” from the Russian security agency FSB.
But
the unsealed documents on Thursday include a forensic analysis
report by a former top cyber expert in the FBI’s cybercrime division
that concludes that Gubarev’s companies were indeed used by Russian
operatives in an effort to hack Democratic Party leaders, the New York Times reported.
The
report notes that the businessman’s companies were often used by
criminal groups and Russian agents to carry out various operations,
including an attack on Ukraine’s power grid in 2015.
Yet while the
report links Gubarev’s companies to Russia’s larger efforts to
interfere in the 2016 presidential election, it doesn’t claim that the
businessman or his executives actually participated in the hacking
operations.
“I have no evidence of them actually sitting behind a
keyboard,” Anthony Ferrante, the report’s lead author, said in a
deposition, according to the Times.
Gubarev denied the involvement
in the hack, while his lawyers tried to ensure the report would be kept
under seal and inaccessible to the public and the media, but the judge
last December refused the request and ordered the documents unsealed.
Steele
and his company, Orbis Business Intelligence, were hired by Glenn
Simpson's U.S. based company, Fusion GPS, to work on the dossier and
promote its contents to journalists. Fusion GPS received $1.8 million
via the law firm Perkins Coie, with the money paid by the Democratic
National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
A transcript
of a court deposition unsealed Thursday also reveals that an associate
of the late U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was in contact with multiple
journalists and government officials in an effort to disseminate the
dossier.
David Kramer, a former State Department official, said in
a Dec. 13, 2017, deposition that the dossier was provided to
journalists at McClatchy, NPR, the Washington Post, the Wall Street
Journal and BuzzFeed and CNN’s Carl Bernstein, according to the Daily Caller.
The
report by Steele was also shared with State Department official
Victoria Nuland, Obama National Security Counsel official Celeste
Wallander and Illinois GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger.
Kramer said that Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson suggested he would use McCain to pass the dossier around.
“I
think they felt a senior Republican was better to be the recipient of
this rather than a Democrat because if it were a Democrat, I think that
the view was that it would have been dismissed as a political attack,”
Kramer said, according to the outlet.

One person has been charged in connection
with a “well-planned” terrorist attack that killed 49 people and injured
dozens more in two mosques in New Zealand on Friday, authorities said.
The
New Zealand police said four people -- three men and one woman -- were
in custody in connection with the attack. Investigators later defused a
number of improvised explosive devices that were found inside vehicles.
Prime Minister Jacinda Arden described the suspects as one principal,
two associates and one person not directly connected to the attacks. She
said the suspects were not on any security watch lists.
"These are people who I would describe as having extremist views, that have absolutely no place in New Zealand." Arden said.
Thirty
people were killed at the Masjid Al Noor mosque in central Christchurch
and seven were slain inside the Linwood Masjid Mosque. Another three
died outside the Linwood mosque.
Australian Prime Minister Scott
Morrison confirmed that one of the detainees was a 28-year-old white
Australian-born citizen. He described the suspect as “an extremist,
right-wing, violent terrorist.”
The suspects were apprehended by
local police following Friday's attack, Mike Bush, New Zealand's police
commissioner, told reporters at a news conference. No motive for the
attack has been determined.
Investigators did not rule out that more gunmen could be involved, he said.
Police were also working to remove an unconfirmed video that circulated online
showing the Australian suspect entering a mosque and firing multiple
shots at people inside. He claimed responsibility for the shooting and
reportedly published a 74-page anti-immigrant manifesto prior to the
killings. He wrote that he traveled to the island nation to train and
commit the attack.
In one video frame, the suspect is seen driving
to the mosque with what appeared to be several semi-automatic weapons
inside his vehicle.
Officers responded to a shooting at the Masjid
Al Noor in Christchurch on Friday afternoon and also responded to a
second shooting at the nearby Linwood Masjid mosque.
Authorities
were not sure if any other locations were under threat and urged
worshipers to refrain from visiting any mosque in the country, Bush
said. A brief lockdown of Christchurch schools was lifted Friday
evening. AOC DRAWS IRE RIPPING ‘YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS’ AFTER CHRISTCHURCH MOSQUE SHOOTINGS
Ardern said Friday's events represented "one of New Zealand's darkest days."
Witnesses
said the Masjid Al Noor mosque was full for Friday afternoon prayers
when the shooting occurred. Len Peneha told the Associated Press that he
saw a man dressed in black enter the mosque and then heard dozens of
gunshots. That was followed by terrified mosque-goers running from the
terror. A suspect was seen outside, fleeing after dropping what appeared
to be a semi-automatic weapon, witnesses said.

"I saw dead people everywhere," one nearby resident said.
Another
witness told TVNZ he saw three women shot and bleeding outside the
mosque. A third witness said a suspect fired more than 50 shots,
Stuff.co.NZ reported.
"He had a big gun and a lot of bullets and
he came through and started shooting, like, everyone in the mosque,
like, everywhere, and they have to smash the door and the glass from the
window and from the small door to try and get out," he said. WITNESSES SAY MANY DEAD, INJURED IN SHOOTING AT NEW ZEALAND MOSQUE
Retno
Marsudi, Indonesia's foreign minister, said six Indonesians were inside
the Al Noor Mosque when the shooting occurred and three escaped.
“We are looking for three other Indonesian citizens," Marsudi said.
Members
of the Bangladesh cricket team said they narrowly escaped the shooting
at the Masjid Al Noor mosque. Players and coaching staff were reportedly
getting off a bus when the shooting broke out. Tamim Iqbal, a batsman
on the team, tweeted: “Entire team got saved from active shooters.
Frightening experience and please keep us in your prayers.”
Mario
Villavarayen, a strength and conditioning coach with the team, told New
Zealand media the players did not see the suspect but heard shots. He
said the group was shaken but unhurt.
“I
spoke to one of them shortly after,” Vllavarayen said. They didn’t see
anything but heard gunshots. They were at the ground and just started
running. The coaching staff were all at the hotel.”
The team reportedly fled the scene on foot to Hagley Oval where it was scheduled to play New Zealand on Saturday. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
The
Justice Department "negotiated" an agreement with Hillary Clinton's
legal team that ensured the FBI did not have access to emails on her
private servers relating to the Clinton Foundation, former FBI special agent Peter Strzok testified during a closed-door appearance before the House Judiciary Committee last summer, according to a newly released transcript.
Republicans late last year renewed their efforts to
probe the Clinton Foundation, after tax documents showed a plunge in
its incoming donations after Clinton’s 2016 presidential election. The
numbers fueled longstanding allegations of possible “pay-to-play” transactions at the organization, amid a Justice Department probe covering foundation issues.
Under
questioning from Judiciary Committee General Counsel Zachary Somers,
Strzok acknowledged that Clinton's private personal email servers
contained a mixture of emails related to the Clinton Foundation, her
work as secretary of state and other matters.
"Were you given access to [Clinton Foundation-related] emails as part of the investigation?" Somers asked
"We
were not. We did not have access," Strzok responded. "My recollection
is that the access to those emails were based on consent that was
negotiated between the Department of Justice attorneys and counsel for
Clinton."

Judiciary Committee in June. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)

Although
the FBI eventually took possession of the servers, Strzok continued,
the possession was "based upon the negotiation of Department of Justice
attorneys for consent."
"A significant filter team" was employed
at the FBI, Strzok said, to "work through the various terms of the
various consent agreements." Limitations imposed on agents' searches
included date ranges, and names of domains and people, Strzok said,
among other categories.
The agreement was reached, Strzok said,
because “according to the attorneys, we lacked probable cause to get a
search warrant for those servers and projected that either it would take
a very long time and/or it would be impossible to get to the point
where we could obtain probable cause to get a warrant.”
Strzok
did not elaborate on whether prosecutors made any effort to secure a
search warrant, which could have delineated precisely what agents could
and could not search.
But Strzok later said that agents had access
to the "entire universe" of information on the servers when using
search terms to probe their contents. He also told Somers that "we had
it voluntarily," although it was unclear if he meant all emails on the
servers -- including ones related to the Clinton Foundation.
Former
Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who chaired the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee until 2017 and is now a Fox News
contributor, said the arrangement signaled that agents wanted willful
blindness.
"They had no interest in pursuing the truth." — Former Oversight committee chair Rep. Jason Chaffetz
"What's
bizarre about this, is in any other situation, there's no possible way
they would allow the potential perpetrator to self-select what the FBI
gets to see," Chaffetz said, noting that the FBI was aware that the
servers contained classified information in unclassified settings.
"The FBI should be the one to sort through those emails -- not the
Clinton attorneys."
The DOJ's goal, Chaffetz said, was to "make sure they hear no evil, see no evil -- they had no interest in pursuing the truth."
Chaffetz
added that the DOJ's behavior, including its award of immunity to top
Clinton aides early on in the investigation, signaled a clear double
standard: "They didn't go make a deal with anyone in Trump's orbit. They
seized it. They used guns and agents -- and just went in there and took
it."
"The Clinton Foundation isn't supposed to be communicating
with the State Department anyway," Chaffetz continued. "The foundation
-- with her name on it -- is not supposed to be communicating with the
senior officials at the State Department."
The Clinton Foundation did not respond to Fox News' request for comment.
Republican-led
concerns that the DOJ, under the Obama administration, was too cozy
with the Clinton team during the 2016 presidential campaign have grown
louder in recent days. Earlier this week, Fox News exclusively reviewed
an internal chart prepared by federal investigators working on the
so-called "Midyear Exam" probe into Clinton's emails. The chart
contained the words "NOTE: DOJ not willing to charge this" next to a key
statute on the mishandling of classified information.
The
notation appeared to contradict former FBI Director James
Comey's repeated claims that his team made its decision that Clinton
should not face criminal charges independently.
But Strzok, in his
closed-door interview, denied that the DOJ exercised undue influence
over the FBI, and insisted that lawyers at the DOJ were involved in an
advisory capacity working with agents.
Fox News also confirmed the chart served as a critical tip
that provided the basis for Texas Republican Rep. John
Ratcliffe's explosive questioning of former FBI lawyer Lisa Page last
year, in which Page agreed with Ratcliffe's characterization that the
DOJ had told the FBI that "you're not going to charge gross negligence."
A
transcript of Page's remarks was published Tuesday as part of a major
document release by the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary
Committee, Georgia Rep. Doug Collins.
Separately in the
closed-door session, Strzok defended his affair with Page, repeatedly
denying that the relationship presented a security risk when challenged
by GOP aides.

Conference in Ottawa on Tuesday, June 5, 2018. (Justin Tang/The Canadian
Press via AP)
Strzok, who was fired from the bureau after months of
scrutiny regarding anti-Trump text messages between him and Page,
confirmed he was involved in an extramarital affair when asked about it
during his interview before the committee on June 27, 2018. But Strzok
was also asked by Art Baker, the GOP investigative counsel for the
committee, whether that affair could have made him "vulnerable to
potential recruitment" by "hostile intelligence service[s]."
“Yeah,
I don’t think I would characterize it that way,” Strzok said. “I think
it is not so much any particular action as it is the way that action
might be used to coerce or otherwise get somebody to do something. I can
tell you that in no way would that extramarital affair have any power
in coercing me to do anything other than obeying the law and doing
honest, competent investigation." Fox News' Brooke Singman and Catherine Herridge contributed to this report.
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.,
slammed those expressing thoughts and prayers for the victims of
Friday's mass shooting that killed 49 people in Christchurch, New
Zealand.
Reacting to remarks made by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter and invoked other mass shootings that took place in houses of worship. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ'S SOCIALIST VISION FOR AMERICA
“At
1st I thought of saying, ‘Imagine being told your house of faith isn’t
safe anymore.’ But I couldn’t say ‘imagine.’ Because of Charleston.
Pittsburgh. Sutherland Springs,’” Ocasio-Cortez wrote.
The
congresswoman was referencing the 2015 Charleston shooting at the
Emmanuel A.M.E. Church that left nine dead, the 2017 Sutherland Springs
shooting at the First Baptist Church that left 27 dead, and the 2018
Pittsburgh shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue that left 11 dead.
“What good are your thoughts & prayers when they don’t even keep the pews safe?” she asked.
That sparked plenty of backlash on social media.
The husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway blasted President Trump on Wednesday, claiming Trump has a problem with "pathological” lying.
George
Conway, an attorney who has become an outspoken critic of the president
via Twitter messages, posted a thread that began when he called out
Trump for claiming that Judge Amy Berman Jackson's sentencing of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort earlier in the day had exonerated the president from the Russian collusion narrative.
“Have
we ever seen this degree of brazen, pathological mendacity in American
public life?" Conway asked in a tweet. "One day he makes a harmless slip
of the tongue, something any mentally balanced person would laugh off.
But instead he lies about it. He denies what the world can see on
videotape. Even his donors and supporters wonder, what is wrong with
him? Why would he feel compelled to tell such an absurd lie?"
Conway then invoked Trump’s recent meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook, whom the president referred to as “Tim Apple.”
Trump reportedly later told RNC donors that he had really said “Tim
Cook Apple,” uttering Cook's last name softly, but then reversed course
on Twitter when he claimed he called the CEO “Tim Apple” to “save time
and words.”
Conway also mocked the president’s two-hour-long CPAC speech, which he called “incoherent.”
“The
judge says, in open court, that Manafort’s lawyers’ ‘no collusion’
‘mantra’ was patently ridiculous because it was irrelevant to the
charges at hand- not that there was no proof of collusion, just that
whether there was or wasn’t was irrelevant to the proceedings at hand,”
Conway wrote. “And yet he lies again – a blatant lie – about what the
judge said in open court.”
Conway
later suggested that the president has a “disorder” and that an inquiry
needs to be made regarding his “condition of mind.”
“It’s not
rational, because it’s a lie that no reasonable person would believe. It
undermines his credibility. It’s self-defeating. But these are just two
of… how many examples? Hundreds? Thousands? Is it possible to count?”
he asked. “At any level of government in this country, in any party,
have we ever seen anything like this? It’s beyond politics. It’s nuts.
It’s a disorder. Whether or not impeachment is in order, a serious
inquiry needs to be made about this man’s condition of mind.”
Instances
of the president or members of the Trump family publicly criticizing
George Conway have been relatively rare. But one sharply worded Twitter
message came in December from Eric Trump. "Of all the ugliness in
politics, the utter disrespect George Conway shows toward his wife, her
career, place of work, and everything she has fought SO hard to achieve,
might top them all," Eric Trump wrote. "@KellyannePolls is great person
and frankly his actions are horrible."
If
former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is being held accountable
for the laws he has broken, he’s got plenty of company in Washington,
D.C., Real Clear Politics founder Tom Bevan argued Wednesday evening.
Manafort
is now facing more than seven years in prison for crimes he committed
before joining Donald Trump’s presidential campaign as well as for
crimes he committed during the Russia investigation. His legal troubles
are far from over as he has now been indicted on an additional 16 counts
in New York state.
During Thursday's "Special Report" All-Star
panel, Bevan -- along with national security analyst Morgan Ortagus and
Georgetown Institute of Politic executive director Mo Elleithee --
weighed in on the Manafort sentencing as well as the latest developments
from former FBI lawyer Lisa Page’s congressional testimony. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE FULL SHOW
Bevan
began by making it clear that “nobody is going to shed a tear” for a
“corrupt guy” like Manafort. That being said, he insisted that if
Manafort was being punished for his crimes, then plenty of others should
be as well.
“If the standard is now, ‘We’re going to prosecute
for FERA violations and we’re going to drain the swamp,’ let’s do it
because there are another fifty or a hundred Paul Manaforts doing the
exact same thing. So if that’s the standard, let’s go ahead and drain
the swamp,” Bevan told the panel.
Elleithee warned about the
consequences of President Trump possibly pardoning Manafort, saying that
at minimum the “optics look bad” and noting that Trump cannot shield
Manafort from the state-level charges against him.
Meanwhile,
Ortagus noted Lisa Page’s significant role in revealing what happened
in the Department of Justice during its handling of the Clinton email
investigation as well as the early stages of the Russia probe. Testimony
shared by the House Judiciary Committee shows that Page confirmed to
lawmakers that the Justice Department instructed the FBI not to pursue
charges of “gross negligence” against former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton.
“When the story, the history is written about all of
this, Lisa Page is going to be such a fascinating and integral character
in this,” Ortagus said. “I mean, look at all the number of people --
Comey, McCabe, Strzok -- all of these people she’s given congressional
testimony to counter them, to contradict them and they are all in
trouble, multiple times over. ... So pay attention to Lisa Page. She’s
taking down some of the biggest names in the FBI.”
Lori Loughlin's
daughter Olivia Jade was spending spring break on a University of
Southern California official's yacht when her mother was accused Tuesday
of involvement in a college admissions scheme, reports said.
Jade,
19, was on Rick Caruso's luxury yacht Invictus in the Bahamas, a report
said. Caruso is chairman of USC's Board of Trustees.
Jade, who currently attends USC, was with Caruso's daughter Gianna and several other friends, the outlet reported.
"My daughter and a group of students left for spring break prior to the government's announcement yesterday," Caruso told TMZ. "Once we became aware of the investigation, the young woman decided it would be in her best interests to return home."

so-called "Midyear Exam" probe into Hillary Clinton's emails,
exclusively reviewed by Fox News, contained the words "NOTE: DOJ not

classified information. The notation appeared to contradict former FBI

Ratcliffe's characterization that the DOJ had told the FBI that "you're

was published Tuesday as part of a major document release by the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, Georgia Rep. Doug Collins.
The
document, entitled "Espionage Act Charges - Retention/Mishandling,"
contained a list of several criminal statutes related to the mishandling
of classified information, as well as a list of all the elements that
prosecutors would need to prove in order to successfully prosecute a
case.
Among the statutes listed are 18 U.S.C. 793(d), which covers the “willfull” retention of national defense information that could harm the U.S.; 18 U.S.C. 793(f),
which pertains to "gross negligence" in the handling of classified
information by permitting the information to be "removed from its proper
place of custody"; and 18 U.S.C. 1924, listed as a misdemeanor related to retaining classified materials at an "unauthorized location."
Listed
directly below to the elements of 18 U.S.C. 793(f) were the words:
"NOTE: DOJ not willing to charge this; only known cases are Military,
cases when accused lost the information (e.g. thumb drive sent to
unknown recipient at wrong address.)"

None of the other descriptions of the statutes had a similar notation. FBI
GENERAL COUNSEL THOUGHT HILLARY CLINTON SHOULD HAVE BEEN CRIMINALLY
CHARGED UNTIL CONVINCED OTHERWISE 'PRETTY LATE' IN THE PROCESS
In
July 2016, Comey took the unusual step of making a public statement
about the Clinton email investigation findings and his decision to
recommend against criminal charges. He said Clinton had been "extremely
careless" in handling classified information but insisted that "no
reasonable prosecutor" would bring a case against her.
Comey
stated: "What I can assure the American people is that this
investigation was done competently, honestly, and independently. No
outside influence of any kind was brought to bear."
He later
explained that he took the unusual step of announcing the FBI's
conclusions because then-Obama administration Attorney General Loretta
Lynch was spotted meeting secretly with former President Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac as the probe into Hillary Clinton, which Lynch was overseeing, continued.
Federal
law states "gross negligence" in handling the nation’s intelligence can
be punished criminally with prison time or fines, and there is no
requirement that defendants act intentionally. Nevertheless, Comey said
at the news conference, "Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of
factors before bringing charges," including "the strength of the
evidence, especially regarding intent."

Originally
Comey accused the former secretary of state of being “grossly negligent”
in handling classified information in a draft dated May 2, 2016, but
that was modified to claim that Clinton had merely been “extremely
careless” in a draft dated June 10, 2016.
Page
and since-fired FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, who were romantically
involved, exchanged numerous anti-Trump text messages in the lead-up to
the 2016 presidential election, and Republicans have long accused the
bureau of political bias.
However, Page's testimony and the
internal "Midyear Exam" chart constituted perhaps the most salient
evidence yet that the Justice Department may have interfered improperly
with the FBI's supposedly independent conclusions on Clinton's criminal
culpability.
"So let me if I can, I know I’m testing your memory,"
Ratcliffe began as he questioned Page under oath, according to
a transcript excerpt he posted on Twitter. "But when you say advice you
got from the Department, you’re making it sound like it was the
Department that told you: You’re not going to charge gross negligence
because we’re the prosecutors and we’re telling you we’re not going to
—"
Page interrupted: "That is correct," as Ratcliffe finished his sentence, " -- bring a case based on that."
Responding
to the transcript revelations, Trump on Wednesday tweeted: "The just
revealed FBI Agent Lisa Page transcripts make the Obama Justice
Department look exactly like it was, a broken and corrupt machine.
Hopefully, justice will finally be served. Much more to come!" Fox News' Cyd Upson contributed to this report.
